  • The AHA’s Institute for Diversity and Health Equity (IFDHE) recently launched their 2024 Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Survey. Hospitals and health systems are encouraged to participate in this biennial survey, which provides a snapshot of hospitals’ and health systems’ efforts, successes and challenges in diversity, equity and inclusion. To ensure the survey captures these critical variations and provides actionable insights, the AHA is asking that each hospital to complete the survey independently. This approach will allow them to understand the specific challenges and successes of DEI initiatives as they occur on the ground. The survey will be open until March 29, 2024. Members with questions may contact the AHA.
